More quotes by Joni Eareckson Tada
The Christian faith is meant to be lived moment by moment. It isn't some broad, general outline--it's a long walk with a real Person. Details count: passing thoughts, small sacrifices, a few encouraging words, little acts of kindness, brief victories over nagging sins.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Thats what I love about serving God. In His eyes, there are no little people...because there are no big people. We are all on the same playing field
Joni Eareckson Tada
God turns on its head one form of evil - suffering - in order to defeat another form of evil - that is, our transgressions. It happened at the cross, and it occurs in the lives of followers of Christ every day.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Deny your weakness, and you will never realize God's strength in you.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The times we find ourselves having to wait on others may be the perfect opportunities to train ourselves to wait on the Lord.
Joni Eareckson Tada
I have an interesting perspective on depending on others. I think it gives people a chance to serve. And I'm not so much big on independence, as I am on interdependence. I'm not talking about co-dependency, I'm talking about giving people the opportunity to practicing love with its sleeves rolled up.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Only God is capable of telling us what our rights and needs are. You have to surrender that right to Him.
Joni Eareckson Tada
One of the most wonderful things about knowing God is that there’s always so much more to know, so much more to discover. Just when we least expect it, He intrudes into our neat and tidy notions about who He is and how He works.
Joni Eareckson Tada
God always seems bigger to those who need him most. And suffering is the tool he uses to help us need him more.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The hallmark of a healthy society has always been measured by how it cares for the disadvantaged.
Joni Eareckson Tada
When we say yes to the grace of God, we are learning how to die.
Joni Eareckson Tada
What an encouragement to realize that God has reserved you and me for a special task in His great work. In His hands we're not only useful, but priceless.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The Bible is replete with commands to persevere, especially in the face of injustice.
Joni Eareckson Tada
My life goal is to see the world's one billion people with disabilities embraced and encouraged by the church.
Joni Eareckson Tada
The best we can hope for in this life is a knothole peek at the shining realities ahead. Yet a glimpse is enough. It's enough to convince our hearts that whatever sufferings and sorrow currently assail us aren't worthy of comparison to that which waits over the horizon.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Like art, like music, like so many other disciplines, prayer can only be appreciated when you actually spend time in it. Spending time with the Master will elevate your thinking. The more you pray, the more will be revealed. You will appreciate not only the greatness of prayer, but the greatness of God.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Thankfully, God brought wise Christian friends alongside to help me discover life-transforming precepts in his Word.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Suffering is arguably God's choicest tool in shaping the character of Christ in us.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Faint hearts are encouraged when they read about others who, despite amputation, spinal cord injury, or psychiatric disorders have a vibrant trust and confidence in God.
Joni Eareckson Tada
Suffering provides the gym equipment on which my faith can be exercised.
